I recently read that 16% of Americans (approximately 54 million of us) are taking antidepressants. This got Secretary Kennedy’s knickers all in a twist. He announced that the U.S. faces a “dependency crisis” because we’re overmedicated and should begin “deprescribing” of antidepressants by supervised tapering. Depressed and anxious patients need to be offered alternatives like […]

We are thrilled to bring our services to the western suburbs!
We are a healthcare practice that strives to integrate the best of conventional and complementary medicine in a caring and healing environment. We believe that both health and disease are functions of physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual influences. Many health issues are rooted in a patient’s personal biography – the story of your life – and are most effectively treated by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Health Tips
From what I’ve been told by the 10-15% of WholeHealth Chicago patients who are (or have been on) on the conveyor belt of hormone injection/surgical procedure stops on each of the highly competitive Fertility Centers, it must be an emotionally draining experience. You arrive feeling <fill in some emotion, like anxiety, hope>. She is <worried? […]
With a title like that, I fully understand if you have an urge to hit the delete key. You endured a Health Tip a few years ago about my colonic, and I do applaud your strength for that. But now, having read in American Medical News that the U.S. is the 17th unhealthiest among 17 wealthiest nations […]
*This Health Tip was originally posted in 2018. More than 30 years ago, I read a book that managed to influence my entire life. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (go ahead and click on it—it’s still available at Amazon and a surprising number of reviews are from recent years) was a best-seller in its day […]
It’s good for you to know a little something about ‘cytokines.’ ‘Cyto’ is Greek for ‘cell,’ ‘kine’ for movement, like ‘kinetic.’ ‘Cytokines’ are molecules released by cells during episodes of ‘stress,’ like an injury, an infection, or fighting a cancer. Some cytokines increase inflammation, imaginatively called pro-inflammatory cytokines, others decrease it: anti-inflammatory cytokines. They cause […]
Unexplained sudden deaths give me the willies but also pique my medical curiosity. Maybe you caught the story in last week’s New York Times which took doctors a year to solve. A healthy 47 y/o airline pilot was grilling burgers with his family in his backyard, became suddenly ill after eating his, then quickly unconscious […]
